Trang

On Friday and Saturday nights, Hardgrave St comes alive as diners descend on this colourful strip of cheap Asian restaurants and Trang Restaurant, housed in the mint green shell of the 1920’s Rialto Theatre, is most popular for Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine.

Join the gaggle of Asian families seated at the plastic tables tucking into its excellent pho (one of its specialties). Also excellent are the pork paper rolls or if Chinese beckons it’s hard to beat the salt and pepper whole sole and the steamed dim sum.

With the majority of mains coming in under $20 and the restaurant being BYO, the top value is also a drawcard.

Need to know - It is advisable to book.
